Moby Duck left this review about The White Horse

A very busy but also very average Nicholsons pub, basically divided into three areas, a room either side of the central bar plus a lower level area at the rear. A pretty standard ale range which seems to be the norm for the chain nowadays, I tried the most interesting option in Dark Star Skylab, not in the best shape but still priced at £6.50, didn't enjoy it here to much and unlikely to be back.

Nicholsons pub with a two sided bar serving one area with a series of high tables and seating booths,while on the other was a long bench seat.On the high tabled side there is a tank for unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell lager,a novelty but probably lost on the tourist trade coming in for corporate pub grub. However there is an upside,the lower snug and rear room are calm and charming ,a quiet place to rest.
The ale choice on my visit was Marston's Wainwright,London Pride,Doom Bar ,St Austell Nicholsons Pale,Proper Job (run out but clip not reversed =bad practice) and Tribute (tired,NBSS 2).
The tables outside were popular,staff were stretched with food delivery and bill payment and the lack of care with the real ale would inhibit me from another visit.Could be a lot better.

The White Horse is a bit of a dark horse, in that it originally dates from 1718 but was actually rebuilt in 1939; you’d never really know it as it looks quite old if approached from Marlborough Court at night.
There’s a traditional field panelled bar, some shiny white tiling but with no bar back, though above it is a rather industrial cradle of RSJs, to support two huge ugly Pilsner Urquell coppers. The colour scheme is predictable smoky blue for the most part, with upper walls and ceiling painted in a pale mushroom colour. The interior is split level, with a modern boarded floor, the rear room being full height bare wood panelled. Furniture is conventional, with some oxblood banquettes. There’s downlighting to the main room and dining in the upstairs. Customers were young and very vocal.
Ales: two pumps unused, no Nicholson’s Pale Ale sadly, otherwise two unused, Doom, Pride, and Landlord at £2.95 a half and fine.
This isn’t a great pub, the ambience being spoiled by the squawking younger customers; the ugly lager plumbing doesn’t help. Nicholson’s Crown is a far better bet, especially given this pub can’t even supply its own house beer.
